It's not the one I've been using either, and I want to be certain I am using the correct (safe) one. Given that I cvsup both ports, and the stable tree consecutivly, what should I add to the above procedure to update ports at the same time? My intent is to update all of the installed ports at this same point in time. BTW of it matters, the only significant thing I am runing from ports that supersedes the base software is perl, and X version 4. All of my otehr isntalled ports are additions to teh base software, not replacements. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
